Latest update to the smart play pro plus (version 55TA.05.00) infotainment in baleno alpha 2022 enabled wireless android auto and apple carplay, this also extended the turn by turn navigation to the instrument cluster and HUD display.
Attaching few images (I've put a sunglasses cover behind the HUD in the image to view it better).

Since the new update is for smart play pro and smart play pro plus the zeta should be getting the update now since it comes with smart play pro.

There is a detailed how to video about the whole process I've found pretty useful. Even though it's for brezza the infotainment system used are same.

2021 XL6 came with Smartplay Studio which does not support OTA updates, current update is only for Smartplay Pro/Pro+ equipped models which released with Baleno 2022 onwards.

I will be getting Zeta AGS this week. Is there any possibility of getting some year end discounts (I am doubtful as the AGS has long waiting period)?
Still, would be happy to know of some way to get discount.

I don't think there are any discounts on the AGS. The manual I believe have like 30-35k discounts depending upon the model. I had a word with my SA about the OTA update for my Baleno and had casually enquired.

What is the Kelvin rating of LED projectors that are provided with Baleno Zeta? Also are these headlamps sealed units? If they go bad, only complete headlamp replacement is an option?

Was looking for options for projector foglamps and wanted to know this before going ahead.

Could someone tell me how to update to the latest version of the smartplay unit? Should i have to visit MASS or could i do it using some App?

Tried google and other sources, but, nothing is clear. There appears to be a suzuki website which has the versions, but not sure of its authenticity and there appears to be a dozen or two models, of which, i am not sure which of it is mine. Thanks.

You can update the unit by two methods. One is using the Smartplay Pro Sync app another is by using a USB device which is a bit more involved and requires a laptop/PC.

Both methods are well explained in this video.

I've updated mine using the USB drive method. For which first you have to find out the infotainment model by following the instructions from here (for baleno the model name is 55TA). Next you can download the update file by following the instructions from the page (Go to the download page link).

The USB device must be formatted first and should be 8GB atleast.
The downloaded update file is a zip file and it contains a file called upgrade.pkg copy this file to the USB.
(I had to create two additional empty text file using notepad called upgrade.bin and upgrade.json and copy it to USB without it the unit didn't recognise the update).
Connect the the USB drive to the head unit and follow the instructions on screen.

I found this online on a youtube video, the version number on the software seems to be different for Glanza and Baleno, hence, I assume that the update has to come from Toyota for Glanza users.

This is a picture of software version on a Glanza

Pls look for GFX mats - amazing fit.

Got Zeta AGS delivered yesterday from Autopace, Chandigarh. The dealership experience was good and SA was helpful.
Mats and rain visor were free. The dealership didn't had any other useful accessory (e.g. mud flaps). Hence, was given Rs.1800 as discount.

Total price : 9,23,000 (without registration)
Will be applying for Bh registration this week.

Drove it from Chandigarh to Faridabad. Odometer showed average of 20 km/l. Pretty good for a new car. AGS is jerky but is acceptable, considering the benefits it has.
